are the gears made of metal or plastic?

I really don't know, all I know is that it is so heavy that I have to pick it up with two hands on the 75-year-old woman

the gears are made of high density plastic. it is clearly illustrated and described in the picture details

As far as I can tell, it is metal. We have had no problems with it in the past year. The on/ off lever works like it was new and the stream/ spray switch on the head is still going strong.

The gear wheel is a plastic crap that lasted no time..I'm trying to fabricate a metal one on to it..Truly regret wasting my money on it.

I think only gear box(trigger, hand grip part) is metal and rest is polymer

The pulleys are made of plastic. Not sure of the gauge of metal in the frame but it is pretty sound. The only issue I have had after over a year of daily use by 3 family members is the plastic coating starts to come off the cables and one of the pully bushings has worn out. Other than that it has performed very well for out needs.

The picture shown looks a little bit different than the one I bought, but mine is mostly plastic except for the crank,gears, and strainer basket I've been happy with it so far and I've probably used it 10 times now.

I do not know what the gears are made of. I did not take it apart and I sold the atv it was on. Sorry

I believe the handles are aluminum but the gears appear to be reinforced fiber glass. They work very well. I consider them to be a high quality product and am pleased I bought them.

They are plastic geared and are controlled by a PWM signal like regular servo motors.

They are made of metal. We are very happy with ours they are sturdy and look very nice. In fact I am ordering more.

I bought it as a gift for my mom, but I believe they are metal. It works really great..

The reel wheels are metal and the winding mechanism is plastic. So far, both have held up well.

The gears on ours are actual brass. Works great and we don't have to worry about teeth breaking off the gears, like on a previous piper we had.

Hi Ray, the gears on my machine are made of metal. In fact the entire machine is metal except for the roller on the handle.Hope this helps...Jim

Most of it is wood, the only plastic thing on it is the gears. Hope that helps. It's really sturdy and our son loves it.

I've had two, one for years. Now a replacement because the gears stripped. Both mine have/had plastic gears
